To some, it looked like a scene out of the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds.To the residents of East Drive in Temple, it was more serious than Hollywood make-believe.The citizens became concerned about a flock of hundreds of egrets that decided to roost two to three weeks ago in trees on a property on the road.Keith Oltmann, a resident of Lilac Lane where the road intersects East, said residents were worried about the birds eating the trees, the animals' odor and possible diseases caused by the egrets' droppings.Oltmann said the lot originally housed "two or three dozen" birds but that the number had "quadrupled" since then.Leroy Gossett, an East Drive resident, estimated that there were about 300-500 birds on the lot.To the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Temple Fire Department the birds have become a challenge. by Jonathan Walburgh
